The contemporary professional view on Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD), according to the new DSM 5 classification, is that it is one of the most commonly seen disorders amongst the whole OC spectrum disorders. It can also be one of the most disabling neurotic mental conditions we come across day in and day out. It is the aim of this workshop to take a modern view on OCD, and to its extended family of disorders.

The second part of the workshop is to revisit the various Behavioural Therapies on different disorders such as Phobic Disorders, Panic Disorders and unwanted behavioural problems. Through seminar and video shows, rationales and techniques of various Behavioural Therapies will be brought to light.
